Irreconcilable differences.
Something’s gotta give eventually.
It is to laugh when Portland burns.
And most people will follow what they believe others are doing.
****************
The herd instinct is strong for most people. The MSM and social media have made it worse than ever.
Nah - let Portland burn, and then let governatrix Kate come crawling on her knees to Trump for "disaster relief" - just like the Commies in Minnersoda.
And just like in Minnesota, Trump can slam the door in her face.
What’s funny, I just looked and he was elected by getting barely over 50% of the Primary vote against about 15 other leftists..
Winning the Primary there means you’re IN
Even funnier, each and every one of them listed their Party affiliation as “nonpartisan”
“Yes, but that chance is a very small percentage.”
I’m not so sure about that. I wouldn’t put too much credence on the polls. They are manipulated to shape public opinion not to reflect it.
The national media is not covering the Portland riots very much because they are afraid it would sway public opinion against the Rats.
To the extent that you’re starting to see some now is because Trump has sent some Feds there the media wants to spin the story that Trump is the cause of the riots because he sent some troops there.
The Speaker of the United States House of Representatives is conspiring with Antifa to doxx Federal law enforcement officers so they can be targeted, and their families injured or killed.
“Most people seem to dig in when their core beliefs are contradicted.”
That’s true of people that have core beliefs. But there are the precious “undecided” that have no core beliefs and are swayed by the emotions of the moment. It is these people that, seeing all this mayhem and destruction, may be pushed to our side.
“....There has to be some direct benefit this mayor is getting from continuing these riots. Is he on the board of directors of a construction company, by any chance?...”
Most likely lots and lots of money from the Soros/obama/CCP organizations. He has to do their bidding or he’ll be “taken out”.
The useless SOB ought to be “taken out” anyway.

While that is certainly true my view is that the country has changed in profound ways both demographically and culturally. We’re a much different country than we were even 25 years ago. This rapid transformation has been a game changer that’s now threatening to overpower us.
We can either be passive to this threat or actively resist it. The latter is going to require a lot of sacrifice if we want to prevail and live in peace.
Nothing stays the same forever.
I checked on real estate prices in Portland area. Cannot afford anything listed. Thought I might go and ‘observe’ the festivities...but find it to be too pricey. So much for good intentions.
“...The Speaker of the United States House of Representatives is conspiring with Antifa to doxx Federal law enforcement officers so they can be targeted, and their families injured or killed.....”
Really, would anyone expect anything less from the godless, vile, demonic Botoxian? A demon straight from the pit of Hell.
It hates America and everything we hold sacred.
Let it eat its ice cream.
Most likely just Deep State and mob intimidation.
There has to be some direct benefit this mayor is getting from continuing these riots.

It is ideology. He is simply a true believer. The rioters are just expressing physically that which he would do if he could.
“We can either be passive to this threat or actively resist it. The latter is going to require a lot of sacrifice if we want to prevail and live in peace.”
We certainly agree on that one. And.the longer we wait to get off our asses and get organized and become “active” the more difficult it’s going to be.
Yep. It will change. The only questions are how and when?
Nuke it from Orbit, it’s the only way to be sure.

This THING is bigger than you realize. Marxists have come here for 150 years. Research the Fabian Society of England.
They first called themselves progressives. When that label was tarnished, they adopted liberal. Now, they use both as those who lived thru the horror & remember the Progressive Movement are dead.
Liberal once meant one who supports the LEAST amount of government for an ordered society, but proper use of words doesn’t matter to propagandists.
After 100+ years taking over the government-funded side of the educational system, & decades indoctrinating students in Marxism by Progressive “educators”, it’s not surprising to see an anti-American revolution gaining momentum.
This is the moment the socialists in politics, the bureaucrats, and the guilt-ridden rich have been waiting for (note: not all rich feel guilt, nor should they), to flip America into Soviet-style socialism.
I’ll choose to fight on my feet against the neo-Bolsheviks before I’ll live on my knees.

An absolute truism. Every day we delay the inevitable the harder its going to be to “resolve” the problem. I could not agree more.
